Nice spotting!
Thanks, jbstrange2202
Thank you, gully.moy. I've looking through my books and online, and I think you're correct. They happened to be a spotting on my way home one day.

It was a friend one. I watched it from about 20-25 feet, and it gradually came closer until it was about 2-3 feet away.
Quick follow up: it flew away the next morning.
A friend called me up, because he heard a bird strike his window. I went over and it was on his deck. It was a more dazed before I arrived according to his daughter. It sat perfectly still, and I was maybe 6 to 8 feet away. I didn't want to disturb it. He did move a couple boxes around it to keep it hidden, but it didn't move an inch. We will let it sit, and we've contacted a local wildlife rehab center if it doesn't recover on its own.
It definitely had the bicolored bill.
